Strom Thurmond got voted in year after year as well. The incumbency rate has little to do with the actions of a politician and much more to do with which "side" the politician is on. If the Democrats allowed a serious contender to go against Ted there is a good chance that he would be replaced, but since capital hill is like a big club the party leaders (on both sides) don't usually let serious challenges to their own incumbents run.

As for Reagan, every president has done good and bad, Reagan was no exception.

There is base and low both sides, I claim neither as my sole voice in this government.

Crissisall, thank you for one more reason to despise the neocons (as if we all needed another).

AURaptor, you're a smart enough guy. You should know by now that politicians in general are scum (or at the very least, fuckin' idiots), regardless of party affiliation. I am not going to deny that the Democratic Party (notice, I didn't say "Left Wing", because they are two completely different animals) is full of dumbasses and scheming scumbags, cause they are. But the Republican Party is just as bad. They're just more obvious about their scum-like nature.

People need to see that bickering over whose party is better is a fool's game. Reagan did what he did. Various Democrats have done what they've done. Neither groups are the "Good Guys". Accept that fact so we can move past these idiotic partisan debates and focus on the facts.

You're welcome on my boat. God ain't.

Gee, it was the GOP who passed the 1964 voting rights act. It was under GOP Presidents that a woman became ambassador to the U.N., a black became sec of state, a black woman became the sec of state, etc.... Fact is, more 'minorities' achieved real positions of power and importance under the last 3 GOP Presidents than under any Democrat. This crap about 'discrimination and bigotry ' is nothing but political spin.

There needs to be a fund to keep kids alert in school ? ROFLMAO!! Sex parties...oh, you mean Roger and Bill Clinton and some cheerleaders when Hillary was away? Skull and Bones? Sorry, not Reagan.

You'd do best to stop now, while you're not too far behind.

Hi all,

It has been U.S. policy for a long time to look at a pair of shitheads, find the one that is accidentally doing something you need, and then give him money.

This is the old Sun Tzu policy of making friends with your enemy's enemy.

But I think history has shown us that some friends are worse than enemies. We need to stop funding shitheads.

Because it has been a long-standing policy to fund shitheads, I'm not sure that we can blame any one particular president. Certainly we've been funding shitheads for as long as I've lived.

We just need a general policy shift: We will only fund the enemy of our enemy... if he's not a shithead.

Because I'm not very knowledgable about this topic at all at this point, I don't really have an opinion on it. (I know, since most of you think I know nothing about nothing, you all must be very shocked now).

I had no idea that they played Contra in Iran. I was just wondering if anybody knew if they use the UP UP DOWN DOWN LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT B A START code in Iran or were they badass enough there to do it all with 3 guys?

But nonetheless you still feel the need to post in the thread. Seems to be a pattern.

The best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter.
